Samantha at Saratoga"
lpy Josiah Aliens Wife.

One of the most prominent person.
ages of the literary world just now is
Miss Marietta Holley, popularity
known as Samantha Allen, or JOSIAH
Aliens wife. She became a favorite
very early in her literary career, and
each new issue from her pen has
added to her fame, until. for her la
test work, Samantha at Saratoga, ,
Messrs. Hubbard Brothers paid her a
princely sum, and the book is decided
Iy hit. 1t will doubtless outsell all
her previous issues, as it unquestion-
ably outshines them all in the fasci-
mating vein Of humor in which Miss
Holley ii so happy and so rich.
Preparing for this work, Miss Hol-
ley went 10 Saratoga aud spent an
entire season, with eyes and ears
open, and with brain and pencil Wig
orously at work. She went in her
famous assumed role of Josiah Aliens
wife, her imaginary Josiah at her
side, with his characteristic blunders,
fdur pas, and quick, boylike enthus-
ia,m. AS Samantha Allen, Miss Hol-
ley is observant, unsophisticated, out
spoken, and sound to the core on
every question of propriety. Such a
couple in the whirl of Saratoga
would certainly develop many re-
markable situations and utter many
funny comments. 1t is here the hui
NOR of the book arises. Plain, back
country, village life, and gay, artifi-
cial Saratoga life are 30 wide apart,
that each side becomes ludicrous TO
the other. These ludicrous laugh
provoking contrasts are the dominant
features of Miss Holley's book.
To these matchmaking pressnta'
items of the author the artists pencil
has added q rich entertainment
Over a hundred drawings have beer
made especially 10 illustrate the tex
by Frederick Opper, the leading ar
ist of Puck. Burt Wilder, too, ha'
done share in embelishing this at
tractive book. These artists max
their pictures talk, aud between tn
text and the talk Of the pictures tn
reader looks and laughs and laugh
and looks again. Altogether, tn
book is rare product, and it's pur
chasers will not be disappointed

How to Study the Bible.

Many persons study the Bible for
years without acquiring much knowl-
edge of ii. Not tecause it is more
difficult to understand than other
books, but because they go about IL
awkwardly, differently to what they
do in learning any other book. Now,
no other science is so much like God,
as mathematics. Without beginning,
without end her fundamental rules
and principles unalterable and eter-
nal. What ifa pupil in arithmetic
should begin in the middle of the
book, or near the back part3 Would
he not labor under great disadyan-
tages all the time? But by begin
ming at the first of the book, and pro-
ceeding step by step, and learning
the different rules as he comes to
them, the task becomes much easier.
For the laws which he learns in the
first part of the book will be of much
service to the end. In solving the
difficult problems near the back Of
the book his knowledge of addition,
subtraction, multiplication and d.
vision will be positively necessary.
He could not get along without 1t.
The same is true of algebra, geome-
try, etc. In order to demonstrate the
theorems and solve the abstruIe prob
lens, the student must understand,
thoroughly, what has gone before.
Aud so with the Bible no man can
properly understand the New Tesla
ment, without first acquiring thor
ough knowledge Of the Old. But by
beginning with the first chapter of
Genesis and observing the dealings
OF God with the persons named, and
carefully studying His perfect and
undlterdble latO, and learning the
prophercies, etc, a man is prepared to
begin the study Of the New Tesla
ment Can any man be expected to
understand our Saviour's explana-
tions of the ldw, unless he has read
and carefully studied, itp No author
of arithmetic or geometry is more
systematic and orderly than God.

Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly
For October.

Considering how frequently ma
tives ofthis country have distinguish
ed Themselves in military and naval
affairs in other lands, it is a wonder
that no one has yet undertaken to
treat so romantic a theme. Colonel
Chaille-Long, who has just gone as
our envoy to Corea, himself one who
has showed ability in other lands,
has done wisely in making "The
American Soldier Abroad" the SUBJ
ject Of an article in the October num-
Der of Frank Leslie's Popular Month
ly. He begins with General Eaton,
whose exploits in Tripoli are
now almost forgotten and
comes down TO Walker in
Nicaragua, Ward and Burgevine in
China. "a Dash through the Land
of Gases" is bright sketch of Scotch
travel; Van Laun paints skillfully
that interesting character in French
Literature the crippled Paul Scarron ;
David Ler, the roamer, gives bright
bit of experience of american En-
gineers IN Angola; Professor Popofl
gives the history and description of
Nijny-Novgorod, the great Russian
mart Richard A. Proctor discourses
ofohauged English Consonants. La
dies will read with interest an article
on Goats" The brilliant novel, "rhe
Man Outside" Verges on dramatic
denouement; while the minor stories,
poetry, and illustrations, make it a
number.

Howard Monroe was shot and
killed in Bell county Sunday night
while sitting in a parlor conyersing
with Miss Edith Turner, a daughter
of Jack Turner who was recently as
sassinated at Pineville. Jealousy Of
some rival for the girls affections is
supposed to be the cause, as Monroe
was not connected with the recent
killings in any way. An attempt
was made to arrest Jack Price on
suspicion the next day and resisting
the sheriff he was shot and killed.

A Big Fire at LouisvI!Ie.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Msy "A disastrous
fire broke out about 3 O'Clock this morn
ing at the immense warehouse OF Brown,
Johnson & Co., Fourteenth and Maple
streets. The building contained an i'm
mense amount of hay, barley, rye, corn
and oats. Half an hour after the ware
house started burning the nine-story grain
elevator of Strater Bros, at Fourteenth
and Broad, caught from the thicklY-fying
sparks. The Strater elevator was within
half a block of the burning warehouse.
The tower first caught and then
the whole structure became enveIoped in
one solid flame. At the time of the
breaking out OF the fire no less than forty
freight cars, mostly loaded, were lying on
the tracks in the vicinity of the burning
buildings. All but fourteen of these
were saved. The cars belonged to the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad and were
loaded with hay, grain, etc, and fourteen
were totally destroyed with their con-
tents. The loss will be about fifty thou
SAND dollars. The loss on the warehouse
and grain elevator will exceed two HUI
dred thousand dollars.

because in nay Judgment is was impolitic,
u2wise and against the genius of our free
institutions, 1t is the subject of an
earnest difference of opinion and
the confctlng sentiments of emf
nent statesmen DO not relieve
the question of the embarrassment
with which it is surrounded Whenever
great issue as in the present cause aris.
es l ibelteve it the right and duty of
every public man to declare his true
purpose and interest. An open,
manly aVowal will command the re-
spect of those who differ when
it fails to invoke the approval of the
principles advocated. The Legislature in
submitting this question to vote of the
people in the fairest mode in which it
could be done-that is IS an isolated issue
unincumbered with other questions, that
there might be fair expression of the pop
ular will upon it, met the demands Of
| those who in good faith de-
sired to see it settled, and
while 1 feared that it was
destined to prove protitless and mad
dening controversy, and that the prac-
tical advantages to result from the
measure would not outweigh the
| injury which the ill-ieeling bound
to accompany the discussion of
this subject through the country
is sure to produce; yet, holding
it to be good Democratic doctrine
and one of the fundamental
principles which is logical necessity OF
our form of government, that the right
of the people to govern themselves
and decide for themselves the
nature and character of the
institutions under which they shall live
is the great element of freedom, | gave
my sanction to its submission to the de-
Cision of the ballot.

TALLEQUAH, I. T, May 2.-The cattle
men of the Nation are all happy. They

into effect prohibiting cattle from being
shipped into the Nation for grazing after
the lst of May. Then again, the range
was fine at this season, and the cattle
that were shipped in being in good con-
ditIou will be seal fat in q short time,
ready for eastern markets. Your CORES
pendent, about q month ago, msde an
estimate that at least 10000 head of
Texas cattle would be shipped into the
Territory. he made quite q mistake, as
fully 10000 more than that number have
oeen shipped into this nation alone.
Taking the other four nations into con-
siderat1on, the estimate could be placed
from 50, 900 to 10000 head of two, three
and four year olds. This estimate does
not include the Cherokee strip, where
they bring them in by the hundreds of
thousands.

rant for the arrest of District Attorney
Thomas F. MCGOWAN on complaint of
Supervisor Van Nostrsnd of Newton,
who charges MCGOWAN with misap-
preparation of town funds. The consta-
BILE to whom the warrant was given to
serve was unable to find MCGOWAN, who is
believed to have gone to Canada. He
left here on Saturday in the afternoon,
and did not return. The actual amount
of defalcation SO far as known is within
few dollars of S19, 800. When MCGOWAN
presented his bank books as vouchers to
the town board of audit prior
to relinquishIng his Office as
supervisor last month they showed a
balance to his credit of S27,I72. It
now appears that all but $1,000 of this
was made up by accommodating friends,
who loaned him checks to deposit, which
were Immediately afterwards Withdrawn
and returned to their owners. It is
rumored he owes his downfall to political
friends.

MORGAN, TEX. April 3O.-A wind of,the
hurricane variety visited this city last
night about $3.50 O'Clock. Threatening
clouds had been lowering overhead for
several hours and an outbreak of some
kind was apprehended. At the first puff
of the wind many citizens rushed for
their "holes in the ground" which have
become very popular in Morgan since the
storm of two years ago.
To the Joy of everybody the storm was
of short duration, and not disastrous, as
some apprehended. The only house
which was blown down entirely was the
old two story frame house of Major B..
F. Harris, which was not occupied. Sew
eral small outhouses took tumble. The
handsome awning on the west side of T.
j. Ford's residence was completely
wrecked.
at Walnut Springs, station

wind was more severe. Reports from
